Running process with a higher priorty in win2k

Is there a way I can run an application with a higher priority than "Normal" without having to use task manager and setting it manually?

Heres the deal. I have a program in my startup folder that I'd like to use "High" priority whenever it runs. Is there a command or switch I can use that would allow me to do this by adding it to the program's command line?

I've tried the following:
CMD.EXE /C START /HIGH "C:\my\app.exe" <-- exeucted cmd, and naviaged to the directory of the app. App didnt run at all...

"C:\my\app.exe" /HIGH <- App started normally in "Normal" priority.

"C:\my\app.exe" start /HIGH <- Again, app started normally in "Normal" priority.

START /HIGH "C:\my\app.exe" <- Cannot find start or one of its components, etc, etc...

Any ideas? I've searched google and found a lot of crap dealing with printers, and using task-manger. I want do do this without having to do this every time I reboot my machine and/or restart the app (via same shortcut)...

If anyone suggests task manager, I'll kick them....
